is in state of great excitement over an
alarming number OF lncendiary fires and
burglaries which have occurred Within

the same time dozen residences on ''The
Hill" were burglarlzed. Last night there
was dozen cases OF house-breaking
further down. Last evening the livery
stable attached to the Iowa House was
burned to the ground.
SECOND BLAZE IN A STABLE.
Nospeclal comment was excited by this
fire, but when second broke out a half
hour later there was much excitement.
This was in a stable attached to the Plan
ters' House. When man entered the
stable TO rescue the stock the halters of
the horses were found to be cut. Both
fires were plainly OF inceDdiary origin.
Another ire broke out in large cloth
ing house IN the centre of the city at IL
O'CLOCK last night. The entire property
was destroyed. Remarks are heard on
the streets that this Is the work Of the
Prohibitionists. Others say the liquor
men have done it.
